Calculate a point along the line A-B at a given distance from A

Question

I\'m going quite mad trying to calculate the point along the given line A-B, at a given distance from A, so that I can "draw" the line between two given points. It

Answer 1

    private static Point CalculatePoint(Point a, Point b, int distance)
    {

        // a. calculate the vector from o to g:
        double vectorX = b.X - a.X;
        double vectorY = b.Y - a.Y;

        // b. calculate the proportion of hypotenuse
        double factor = distance / Math.Sqrt(vectorX * vectorX + vectorY * vectorY);

        // c. factor the lengths
        vectorX *= factor;
        vectorY *= factor;

        // d. calculate and Draw the new vector,
        return new Point((int)(a.X + vectorX), (int)(a.Y + vectorY));
    }
